I'm new to sewing, so I wanted a book that could help me with the basics. This one has a lot of useful info and tips, and the patterns are OK to start with. I also like the spiral bound design and the fact that it comes with pattern sheets. See full review

I love this book. I still haven't been able to finish the first pattern I started, as it's definitely not a book for absolute beginners like myself (not many how-tos here), but I do love the story behind the book, the design, everything. See full review
